Sperm Equatorial Segment Protein 1 , Glycosylated 38 kDa Sperm Protein C-7/8 , ESP , SP-ESP , SPESP1 , Equatorial Segment Protein
Sperm Equatorial Segment Protein 1 (SPESP1) is a member of the SPESP1 family. SPESP1 is highly expressed in the testis, where it is localized to the acrosome of postmeiotic stages of spermiogenesis, it is expressed at lower levels in the placenta and fetal lung. SPESP1 is involved in the multicellular organisimal development. Disruption of SPESP1 leads to abnormal distribution of sperm proteins resulting in a detached membrane from the equatorial segment and less fertile sperm. SPESP1 may interact with IZUMO1 and MN9 antigen and it contains an N-glycosylation site as well as several cAMP-dependent kinase, protein kinase C, and casein kinase II consensus phosphorylation sites.
